Y My invention relatesto improvements in pin-paper magazines,and itconsists inthe combinations, constructions, andv arrange-y mentshereinafter7 described andclaimed.

` 5 An object of my invention is to provide a it and the magazine-properwith suliicient force to hold the paper iniplace while permitting,the pins to be removed.

0 Other objects and advantages will appear in thefollowingspecification, and the novel features of my invention will beparticularly pointed out in what I hereinafter claim.V

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a partof this application, in which: p

Figure lis a front elevation of the device partially broken away forshowing the paper of pins; y

Figure 2 is a transverse section' of the magazine;

Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional view of a portion of the device shownin Figure 2;

Figures 4 and 5 are a plan and a side view,

respectively, of a spring hook used in the` device; and 7 Figure 6 is aperspective enlarged detail sectional View of a portion of the device.

In carrying out my invention I provide a magazine indicated vgenerallyat 1. The

magazine takes the shape of a box having end.

walls 2, a rear wall 3, a top wall 4,'and a bottom wall 5. The magazinehas an open front that is vnormally closed by a door 6.

This door is removably secured to the magazine by a leaf spring 7, andthis spring is also used for yieldingly holding the door in closedposition. In Figure2 I show the bottom of the door as being providedwith a compartment 8, formed by a bottom flange 9 of the causing thedoor to clamp the paper betweenf door, Aand inwardly extending endportions'. 10 of the door. When the door is in vertical position, theflange L9 extends at an angle with respect to the floor 5. Thedoorrful'orums about its bottom edge 11 as a pivot.

It yshould be noted that this pivotislides over the bottom of ioor aandis disposed to .the left in Figure 2, when the door is in full openposition, as indicatedy by the dotted lines.V The leaf spring 7 issubstantiallyoi" the same area as the bottom 5 and itv is securedto thebottom by means of bolts 12. The 'front edge of the spring is soldered,as" shown at 13, and is removably received in the pocket of recess 8.The spring kvisstrong enough to swing the door from a partially openposition into closed'position. VVhen the door is in full open position,as vslio'wn'by the dotted lines, the spring will not return it intoclosed position.

' The magazinehouses a paper 1,4carrying common Vpins 15. This'paper ofpins is the usual articlethat is purchasable at any dry-k goods store,etc, The device is designed for exposingone row of pins at a time andfor holdingy these pins in a position where they may4 bereadily removedfrom the paperwithfoutyin any wayeffecting the other pins, or

in removingthe paper from the magazine. Reference to Figure 3 clearlyshows how the exposed row of pins is supported. A shoulder 16 isprovided on the inner side of the door 6, and is formedby a strip ofmetal 17, seeFigure. This strip is held in place by inwardly bent lugs18,*and also by solder that k,secures the flange-19 to the door, andalso the edge 20.

` The points of the pins rest upon the shoulder 16, while the headsproject above the top of the -magazine. The paper fofpins is clampedVbetween a flange 21, formed from the front portion of the upper wall 4,and the upperpart ofthe door 6. The row of pins to be exposedareinitially secured to the door bysprings 22,`while the door is in fullopen position.` The springs 22 aided bythe spring I f 7 hold the paper14 in place, and number o pins 15 to'be removed.

In Figures 4, v5, and V6 is'shown the novel permit any type ofy`spr1ngf22 employed. There are two of these, one being disposedat eachend of the door. The spring is U-'shaped, and has out- 1 wardlyproject-ing ends 23 that are rotatably received in .sleeves 2&1.Y Thesleeves have notches 25 for receiving a portion of the legs 26 and thesenotches are disposed so as to hold the spring in operative position.

From the foregoing description of the various parts of t-he device, theoperation there-v of may be readily understood.

The door 6 Vis'sw-ung 'into `full ope'nfposi' tion, and the paper ofpins is insertedintd One of the ends of'thepa'p'er the magazine. isclamped to the door by means of the vsprings 22. The portion oftheipaper so'clamped disposes the row of vpins carried thereby upon theshoulder 16, the door'is nowswung into closed position and the pins willproject above the magazine asshown in Figures l and 3. Any number ofpins may nnow be removed from the row. The 'saine operationfjisrepeatedwhen anew row of pinsis needed.k The magazine entirely conceals theAunusedv portion of the paper. ,Y j

Although I have shown andC described one embodiment of my` invention, itis to Ybev understood that the same is susceptible of various changesand I reserve the 4right to employ such changes as may come within thescope of.
